Should Chelsea sell Romelu Lukaku? Have your say in the comments section.Now he's out of the team and I can't see him getting back in against Liverpool at Wembley.At times the other day against Lille in the Champions League, when he was on the bench, some of Chelsea's football was outstanding.The movement from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech was absolutely outstanding. I haven't seen that from Chelsea for a while - and I don't think Thomas Tuchel will play Lukaku now against Liverpool. Virgil van Dijk had Lukaku in his pocket when they played at Anfield, and it was Havertz who scored in that game.Havertz brings a lot more to the party at the moment.

Thomas Tuchel has dropped Romelu Lukaku from his starting line-up to face Lille in the first-leg of their Champions League knockout tie.The Belgian had a game to forget on Saturday against Crystal Palace, registering just seven touches across the 90 minutes, one of which was from kick-off.The £97.5million signing has been named amongst the substitutes rather than leading the line at Stamford Bridge, a week after he helped Chelsea claim the Club World Cup title.Tuchel's decision marks yet another low point in Lukaku's return to Chelsea, which has been dominated in controversy as well as injury since moving from Inter Milan in the summer.Lukaku's tally of seven touches during the 1-0 win against Palace on Saturday was an all-time low for any player over the course of 90 minutes in the Premier League, since such statistics began to be recorded during the 2003/04 season. As a result, Lukaku has been dropped by Tuchel despite the German seemingly defending his summer signing in the build-up to their clash with Lille, as he asked fans to stop making jokes about him.Tuchel said regarding Lukaku's form: "Sometimes it's like this with strikers if they struggle a little bit with self confidence and find the space to get involved with a good defensive side.Is Romelu Lukaku's future at Chelsea in doubt?

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has asked that fans stop mocking Romelu Lukaku as the Belgian's miserable form continues.The German has asked fans to stop joking about Lukaku's form as he looks to defend the £97.5million summer signing, following a quiet display against Crystal Palace.Lukaku registered an unwanted stat on Saturday as he touched the ball just seven times throughout 90 minutes against Palace, with one of those being from kick-off in the first half.It was the fewest number of touches in 90 minutes since the statistics began to be observed during the 2003/04 season, and Tuchel has been quick to back the striker.Tuchel wants the fans to support their striker rather than mock him as Chelsea prepare for an important Champions League clash against Lille, and the German explained: "Sometimes it's like this with strikers if they struggle a little bit with self confidence and find the space to get involved with a good defensive side."It can be like this, of course it's not what we want and what Romelu wants but it's also not to the time laugh about him and make jokes about him."He's in the spotlight and we'll protect him."Has Romelu Lukaku justified his price-tag at Chelsea this season? Comment belowLukaku has scored ten goals for Chelsea since his return to the club, but his second spell has been dominated by injury and also controversies stemming from off the field.But the Belgian seems to be suffering from the 'curse of the Chelsea no.9', as high-profile signings such as Andriy Shevchenko and Fernando Torres also struggled when making emphatic moves to Stamford Bridge.Tuchel was rather tight-lipped on this comparison, but did add: "There's a history of strikers struggling at Chelsea.

Thomas Tuchel's damning verdict on Chelsea flop Romelu Lukaku has been challenged by Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.The Blues edged to a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, but Lukaku was once again anonymous for most of the match.The striker touched the ball just seven times during Saturday's derby clash - the lowest of any Premier League player to complete 90 minutes since data was first collated at the beginning of the 2003/04 campaign.However, Tuchel denied after the game that Lukaku's ineffectiveness was down to Chelsea's system - a claim that both Lineker and Shearer refuted.The former striking duo hinted that the Blues should do more to get the best out of their club-record signing.But Tuchel was defiant after the match, insisting: "No, no, it's not about the system."Well, it is what it is. But for him, there is no change of system because it's the same attacking structure."But that didn't wash at all with Shearer, the Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer, who leapt to Lukaku's defence.He told Match of the Day: "It's clear that they [Chelsea] aren't working on things on the training ground as they are not doing it during the game for him [Lukaku] or for the team."Do you think Chelsea should be doing more to get the best out of Lukaku? Let us know in the comments section. And Lineker, the show's host, went one further by insisting that he'd be "hammering people" if he were in Lukaku's position.

Chelsea fans want "virus" Romelu Lukaku sold after he produced a shockingly bad performance against Crystal Palace.Thomas Tuchel's side were 1-0 winners in the Premier League clash but the result was in no part thanks to Lukaku, who had just two touches of the ball in the first-half.And one of them came from kick-off.The striker finished the game with a total of seven touches, while he was twice flagged offside and also committed two fouls throughout the 90 minutes.Having already rubbed the club's fanbase up the wrong way with his bombshell interview earlier this season, his latest outing was the final straw for many Blues supporters.One tweeted: "Lukaku should be sold tbh . Cut our losses."Another claimed: "Literally everyone has become worse thanks to Lukaku.
